Dr. Nicolas Crossley - March 4, 2025

"Psychosis, Social Determinants, and Neural Correlates:  Bridging Mental Health, Society, and the Brain"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program in the LPCH auditorium  

Dr. Crossley is an academic psychiatrist with an interest in understanding brain function in health and disease through neuroimaging, particularly in psychotic disorders. After completing his training in the UK, he returned to his native Chile in 2016 where he continues his imaging research, including on treatment resistance and the 22q11 deletion syndrome. In 2017 he established the ANDES network, a collaboration of Latin American researchers in psychosis, comprising members from six Latin American countries. The focus of this network has been the impact of the social determinants of health—such as poverty, violence, and gender inequality—on the clinical trajectories of psychosis and brain structure and function, issues that are particularly pertinent to the Global South.

Learning objectives:  
  1. Identify the importance of specific social determinants of health in the trajectories of psychosis.
  2. Identify the impact of specific social determinants of health in brain anatomy.
  3. Identify the importance of including the social determinants in studies developing brain biomarkers in psychosis.

Dr. Claire Gillan - November 12, 2024

"Disorders, Dimensions, Hierarchies, States or Traits - How Should We Define Mental Health and Illness"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program in the LPCH auditorium  

Claire Gillan is a Professor in Psychology at Trinity College Dublin (www.gillanlab.com). Her work has a dual focus on developing our understanding of basic mechanisms that give rise to disorders of the mind, but also in developing novel tools to assist in prevention and intervention research. Her group has helped developed a range of novel internet-based methods to facilitate the gathering of large and ecologically valid data. Notable examples in this area include the smartphone app Neureka, which has engaged thousands of citizen scientists in brain health research (www.neureka.ie) and studies using natural language (e.g. Twitter, therapy data) to understand the dynamic properties of mood. The lab uses a range of analytical techniques such as computational modelling and machine learning to understand and predict mental health problems, and developed a now widely-used technique called ‘Computational Factor Modelling’ that identifies transdiagnostic dimensions in psychiatry from normative samples. Claire has received numerous awards, including the Early Career Researcher of the Year from Science Foundation Ireland (2022) and the Early Career Award from the Society for Neuroeconomics (2022). She holds funding from Science Foundation Ireland, the European Research Council and the Irish Health Research Board.

Learning objectives:  
  1. Understand the limitations of our current diagnostic system in psychiatry.
  2. Critically evaluate emergent alternatives based on factor analysis.     
  3. Learn about casual inference in observational studies in psychiatry and how to distinguish within and between person processes.
